Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween Returns

As the air turns crisp and the nights grow longer, a long-awaited Halloween tradition returns: Freeform’s iconic “31 Nights of Halloween.” From timeless classics like Hocus Pocus, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Disney and Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., to modern favorites like Cruella, Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story of TERROR!, and the Disney+ series Goosebumps, the program offers a perfectly curated selection of eerie entertainment—all October long.

New to this year’s lineup are Arachnophobia, Hocus Pocus 2, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Muppets From Space, and the broadcast television premiere of Haunted Mansion (2023).
